Philips Hue is likely on the verge of introducing two new all-day lighting scenes for its smart bulbs. The speculation started when a supposed screenshot of a beta version of the Philips Hue app circulated on social media. This was brought to light by Hueblog.de, although they did not share much about the origin of the info. It's thought that this feature is available to just a select few testers at the moment.
New Scene Features
The screenshot reveals the current Natural Light scene along with two new scenes: Golden Hours and Nature's Colors 24-hour scenes. The Natural Light feature was introduced in late 2022 to align your smart lights with your body's natural clock. In the morning, users experience cooler, brighter lighting that gradually shifts to warmer tones as the day progresses, before dimming at night. Hueblog.de states that the Golden Hours scene is quite similar to Natural Light but maintains warmer white light during the entire day. The details for Nature's Colors are still a mystery, although the accompanying image displays pink, white, and orange flowers.
Future Availability
At this time, it remains uncertain when the new Philips Hue all-day lighting scenes will be made available to all users. It is expected that they will be included in a future update of the brand's mobile application. The most recent iOS update was released at the end of October, featuring a new widget function and enhancements for Philips Hue security cameras, such as the Secure Floodlight with Camera, which is currently priced at $279.99 on Amazon.
